Salam. I don't know, if i asked this before but maybe someone with better Arabic then mine can tell me what is 53:1-18 talking about? I mean, i got some idea what is it talking about but is it what i think it is? Did Muhammad travel to Paradise and see it? 53:1 As the star descended. 53:2 Your friend was not astray, nor was he deceived. 53:3 Nor does he speak from personal desire. 53:4 It is a divine inspiration. 53:5 He has been taught by One mighty in power. 53:6 Free from any defect, he became stable. 53:7 While he was at the highest horizon. 53:8 Then he drew nearer by moving down. 53:9 Until he became as near as two bow-lengths or nearer. 53:10 He then conveyed the inspiration to His servant what was to be revealed. 53:11 The heart did not invent what it saw. 53:12 Do you doubt him in what he saw? 53:13 And indeed, he saw him in another descent. 53:14 At the ultimate point. 53:15 Near it is the eternal Paradise. 53:16 The whole place was overwhelmed. 53:17 The eyes did not waver, nor go blind. 53:18 He has seen from the great signs of his Lord. Is this saying that Gabriel came down to Muhammad and Muhammad saw Gabriel and then Muhammad also saw the Paradise? Because i know that The God sends Gabriel to human messengers to tell the humans what they need to know, right? I really wanna know this. Peace. |
